OverThere

PIF are starting to get right on my nerves. The first team is undoubtedly better than under Ashley but beyond that is there much difference? The stadium, training ground and academy haven't changed much and there seems to be Ashley-esque behavior on these fronts. This is weird because these are areas with no PSR restrictions.

If he is fit, hopefully he will be selected to play at RB.

I said a 2-3 at the time and that's what I am sticking with. A complete disaster. Whomever was responsible should be oot.

Nothing. That's the fucking point 😁

Shite. Sell in the summer

Shite. Bombs forward, loses ball and leaves us woefully exposed

Financially probably doesn't make much sense - there are a few assumptions right there. If that is the case, the business case should be presented.

There are no restrictions imposed by the cartel that would improve the infrastructure/organization and ultimately help ease the restrictions. 1) stadium configuration whether we stay or go that will increase revenue 2) training ground/academy that will reduce future spend required by growing your own prospects 3) scouting network and team to procure non home grown prospects At present Hopkinson is blowing a load of hot air, backed up by no action. Geordies do not appreciate this kind of approach as we have heard it all many times before.

We spent plenty in the summer landing no one we really wanted

Well it has grass, unlike Kingston Park.

How can the club be better run AND keep Howe? That is the way to go.

Isak will be the back up for Ekitike and a rotational piece

I guess PIF lost interest when Mandy left. I assume the ROI of having a WSL team is negative.

PSR means you are forced to sell your best players and then either just keep the dough or else try and gamble on some prospects

Error prone. He needs to play a more simple style for a while which may mean .... hooooooof.

Very bad. I rate it at a 2-3 out of 10. We spunked the Isak money and look worse than before

If we don't make a decision to leave SJP, we are going to be stuck right where we are. The ceiling of possibility has been reached given the current PSR rules. I am really hoping PIF is doing something in the background, but I have my doubts. Maybe the ROI is highest right where we are.

7 is the most popular. WOW

Is Bruno's ankle a bit tender?

It's like a reverse Samson.

Play him in the holding role alongside Big j and allow Bruno to play further forward

Isak leaves and we sign Nick, who has a completely different profile and we subsequently don't change anything at all in terms of the way we play. Either a) we bought the completely wrong player or b) we are playing the wrong tactics for the players we have.

A start would be trapping the ball and passing to someone with the same coloured shirt. Build from doing the basics.

Fuck me, even auld whiskey nose is smiling. Urghh.

Man U will.make the Champions League with Carrick in charge. We are way off it this year, 7th at best.
